The Turkish Culture Service Foundation was established in 1985 with the encouragement and support of the Ministry of Culture. As part of its Publishing Projects in Honor of the 100th Anniversary of the Republic, the Turkish Culture Service Foundation continues its previous publishing activities with new works, publishing works on various topics written by experts in the field with support from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, General Directorate of Copyright, and various sponsors. The Caferağa Madrasa, restored in 1989 by the Turkish Culture Service Foundation on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of Mimar Sinan s death, is now used as a Traditional Turkish Arts Education Center.
